<p>Like teriwtt, I had gingerly applied vinegar with a spray bottle last summer to no avail. This summer it’ll be brute force thanks to your experience.</p>
<p>Another really good weed killer (it works on ant hills too) is boiling water. Really nontoxic.</p>
<p>The toilet bowl ring will go away with a pumice stone but be gentle with it, you can scrub the finish right off.</p>
<p>Can you use glass cooktop cleaner on the toilet ring?</p>
<p>What about the powdered Kaboom toilet bowl cleanser? That might work.</p>
<p>Powder Kaboom and then scrubbing took care of that stuff in my house.</p>
<p>We have really hard water and had trouble with toilet rings…tried everything and nothing totally worked until I tried Don Aslett’s foaming toilet cleaner (comes with a pumice stone). It’s amazing. You can order it from his website.</p>
<p>^^Try WD-40 on shower doors. That product is amazing.</p>
<p>Another product I love is the Reynolds plastic bags that go into the slow cooker. Makes cleanup easy as pie.</p>
<p>Magic Erase & Swiffer Duster are the most wonderful products. I also love the slow cooker bags as they make clean up a breeze. I like the Swiffer mop, too. It’s great for getting up against all kinds of surfaces (and I hate mopping). </p>
<p>I’ve used white vinegar & baking soda for cleaning off burned food in my non-replaceable burner trays. It works on the fresh stuff but not the really burned on stuff. I wonder if denture cleaner would work there?</p>
<p>Be careful using the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on wood surfaces–they can remove the top coat.</p>
<p>Two thumbs and two big toes up for the Swiffer Dusters! A couple of dusters and a long stuck are all I needed to remove years of dust and dead flies from the crystal chandelier we have above the staircase. OK, it also involved a Little Giant ladder (what a great product, too!) and a very supportive (pun intended) husband. I dreaded the task, but it trurned out to be such a piece of cake. My cats cleaned up whatever fell on the floor. :)</p>
<p>Rings in toilet: bleach (lots of it - let it sit).</p>
<p>Pedi-Egg = miracle</p>
<p>Other favorite products:</p>
<p>Jergens self-tanning lotion (won’t turn you orange, and you really have to lack technique to end up with weird edges)</p>
<p>Dyson vacuum - worth every penny</p>
<p>Sear’s washer and dryer with largest capacity available (I would give up my house before I would give them up).</p>
<p>Cheap printer refill ink from a dollar store. Comes with needle-like attachment - you can inject it into holes found underneath stickers on HP cartridges (not sure about other brands).</p>
<p>Sonicare toothbrushes (no more cavities once we all switched over - don’t know how dentists hae been staying in business since they were invented)</p>
<p>After reading an article (aka promotion) for “Wet and Forget” in the March Costco Connection, I’ve just picked up a twin pack to try on my patio moss. If it works, I’ll apply it to the apron of my garage and to other spots that are sporting a coat of moss. Anyone else have success with this?</p>
